Well, the songs I originally chose suck big time. So I'm going to use the ones you guys suggested for me. I'll probably only do one or two songs from my list, but the rest is all from you.
Without any further ado, this chappie is dedicated to - 'Elphaba818' and 'marylinopen89' for suggesting the song 'Cry' by Mandy Moore.
SOOO random but, is Paranormal Activity really good and scary? Just wanna know since I might be watching it with my friends for my so-called 'bday celebration' even if my bday is like two weeks away.
Disclaimer: Can Duncan winning TDA and DxC back together get any better??? I wouldn't have even thought of this if my life counted on it.
Duncan sighed a relief as the song began to finish, her powerful voice fading away from his headphones, however he was cringing for whatever the next song was that was going to blast through his stringy speakers that were attached to his baby.
The good part, thank God that's over. The worse part, what else is to come?
Just as the previous song finished, the next song immediately played. And from hearing the first two lines of the song, for once the bad boy was actually listening and thinking at the same time. He glanced down at the artist's name, which seemed to solve all his answers really.
I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
Mandy Moore. Oh, now I know who she is, she is that chick from that film everyone keeps crying about. I don't see what the big deal was of that film anyway; it's just another pointless piece of crap made in my lifetime.
Truth be told, Duncan was forced to watch A Walk to Remember with his mother one time. Even though overall in his opinion he found the film utterly boring, he had to admit it was very touching and sad, not that he cried or anything. Or did he?
I am a bad boy, meaning bad boys – particularly me - aren't wusses who cry because they are chopping onions. That is not me, never will be.
It lasted forever
And ended too soon
Out of no-where, a random thought popped up in Duncan's mind when he heard these two particular lines, something he hoped that would happen very, very soon.
Wonder what it would feel like to kiss Princess. But I know, she knows, everyone knows, heck even God knows that wishes do come true and this... 'wish' of mine will defiantly come true for sure. Like the old saying goes, "catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, never let it fade away," Princess is the star, and I'm the pocket. Wow, what a bad metaphor, no wonder I failed English this semester.
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
Duncan's mind took a walk through memory lane to the Awake-a-thon challenge. Around half of the campers of each team had fallen asleep, not including him or Courtney. He remembered staring at a blind spot on a tree, when something from the corner of his eye kept moving back and forth, up and down. He turned his head to see a lethargic Courtney moving all over the place. He had been awake for more than twenty four hours, but he was still capable of making facial expressions.
He had raised an eyebrow at whatever it was she was doing, when he noticed she was the only one doing it. What even caught his teal eye was that she kept gazing at the sky, even if it was a dull colour hiding the stars away.
Duncan knew then on that Courtney was something else for sure. She wasn't all 'eeeee' like Katie and Sadie or calm and tranquil like her friend Bridgette.
I was changed
Uh… what now?
Duncan ignored that line and waited – impatiently – for the chorus to start.
In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
Sure, Duncan always teased Courtney about her wanting him, somehow he felt like it was true.
Who would resist an irresistible hunk like me? Not even Princess would, that's for sure.
Courtney was maybe a C.I.T. with a wide range of intelligence and advanced knowledge, but he knew that deep down; she had her real feelings locked up somewhere inside her. It seemed like the only way she could let them out was if he helped.
It was then that I realised
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry
The last part of the chorus took him by surprise, and for a moment he was caught in a stupor. Now, he wasn't sure if the song was based on him or on her.
Infact, he wondered if this part even made sense at all. To him, anyway.
The moment that I saw you cry
When was the last time I saw her cry? Oh yeah, when the stagelight broke her violin... well she is rich and wealthy, so can't she just buy a new one to stop her whining? Geez!
Where else have I seen her cry? Well, she didn't fully burst into tears, but I could've sworn she was blinking back a few tears when she sees Trent and Gwen together, but what is that supposed to mean? Does she like Trent!? Forget Geoff until later, I'm gonna kick that musician's ass first and later on grab that guitar of his and smash it on his...
Once again, his diabolical plan on another camper's confrontation with him was interrupted by the beginning of the second verse.
It was late in September
And I've seen you before (and you were)
Duncan never actually considered the future, well he did, but he didn't think about the aftermath after Total Drama Island was complete. What would happen after all of this has finished? Will I stay in touch with everyone? Screw that, I'm not keeping touch with that manipulative bitch Heather. Geoff, DJ, and maybe Owen for sure, but what about Courtney?
Courtney.
Courtney.
Courtney.
You were always the cold one
But I was never that sure
Courtney.
Courtney.
Courtney.
Argh, why is she so different from the rest?
Why his mind kept repeating the stubborn over-achiever's name was beyond him.
You were all by yourself
Staring at a dark grey sky
This time he thought back to when the remaining campers had to stay overnight in the woods, and he scared his fellow Bass members – especially Courtney – when he told the story about the man with the hook. Duncan remembered that challenge very well. It was the time when Courtney clinged herself to him after a wolf howled in the distance, the time when he woke up to discover the 'alleged cuddling' between the two, the time that tweedle-dumb got voted off.
That was the night Duncan realised his relationship with Courtney was more than just the usual banters and flirtations. That was the night when a part of him had changed.
I was changed
Those three words sort of proved his point.
In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
Are there any emotions in her that aren't anger? She could probably kill all of Canada with her screaming, heck; she could probably even scare Eva that rage-a-holic nut job. Wow, that would be soo hot to see, where is some popcorn when you need it?
It was then that I realised
That forever was in your eyes
Trent isn't that good-looking as me, I mean have you seen my pecks? And don't get me started on my guns!
Even with those lines repeated for the second time, Duncan still didn't see the significance of it, or how it related to him or to Courtney.
Until hearing the last line of the chorus.
The moment I saw you cry
Duncan finally understood why Courtney would tear up at the sight of Trent and Gwen together, and not because Trent was with Gwen, he was pleased about that. It was because she wanted what they had and probably something she could never have.
Summer love.
All he wanted to do now was comfort the drama queen. Maybe he could even get a makeout session without her killing him. He doubted it but he never gave up hope for it.
I wanted to hold you
I wanted to make it go away
Different scenes of the previous challenges they did kept zooming in and out of his brain. First it was the Dodgeball challenge when she got hit in the face, the phobia challenge when she couldn't jump into the green jelly, then it was when they were partnered up to make desert, and most recently, the challenge based on William Tell when Sadie threw many apples at Courtney, whether it be on her face, head, and chest.
Duncan felt like protecting her then, and he even felt like doing it right now. He wanted to keep her safe, keep her happy, keep her with him...
Wait, what? Keep her with me? Are you nuts?
Nope, that's YOU, nutjob. You're the one who keeps flirting with her and all, so be honest you know you want her.
I want her alright... to admit that she wants this hunk of candy big time.
Sigh, you're probably the one who won't admit it more than she does!
I wanted to know you
I wanted to make your everything all right...
That can't be true, that can't be fucking true, could it?
Well Sherlock, you keep asking her about her family life, even though she doesn't give you much. Basically, you want to know everything about her and yet you don't want to know her at all. You don't need her, but in a way you need her. You want to make her life miserable, yet you want to make it perfect for her... am I getting somewhere here?
Oh shit, even my mind has gone against me. First it was my iPod and now my thoughts, what's the next thing that's going to go against my will?
The next time you see Princess, the next thing that will defiantly go against you is your peni-
Shut up, it was a rhetorical question... whatever that means!
Whatever man, you know it's true. You're never going to forget about her.
This got the bad boy thinking very thoughtfully.
I'll always remember...
Maybe Duncan's inner voice was right.
It was late afternoon...
Actually, his inner voice is right, he will never ever forget about her, especially when it was the first time he ever saw her pace on the docks, greeting everyone. And what do you know, it was a late afternoon when they had to do their first challenge by jumping off the cliff and he felt going all lusty-feely when he saw Courtney in her tankini. To think he never felt this feeling with someone that wasn't either a pin-up girl from a magazine...
In places no one would find...
Now Duncan was thinking the one thing even he thought would never in a million years happen would betray him just may will very soon. It may seem like he was nothing but someone that was a black soul like coal with no meaning of life whatsoever, but deep down his beating heart was glowing brighter than ever, something that never happened in his life before.
Never ever.
In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside)
Crap, crap, crap, holy Owen's guacamole crap! Not only does this song reflect on Courtney, damnit it relates to me! This makes me feel like that Cody geek that pines over Gwen – a wuss.
Never said you were a wuss.
Oh great, I got burned by my own words, and I'm the one who said it!
Wait 'till Courtney hears that you're talking to yourself like a lunatic.
It was then that I realised
Courtney.
Courtney.
Courtney.
Courtney.
Courtney.
Courtney.
Courtney.
Princess aka. Courtney.
Courtney.
Courtney.
Courtney.
Courtney.
Courtney.
Argh, out of all the girls on the island, why is she constantly appearing in my mind? I mean she doesn't have Lindsay's boobs, LeShawna's 'lusciousness' as she puts it, Gwen's sarcastic humour, or Bridgette's 'calm, cool, collected' personality.
Then what does she have that no other girl I have met has? She's feisty, hot when she is angry, hot when she isn't angry, has curves in all the right places, has cute freckles... oh God, I'm sounding like an obsessed wuss, which I am not!
That forever was in your eyes
Her beautiful, hypnotising onyx eyes that hold the need to belong and be protected and... okay, why the fuck am I sounding like a poet? Argh, this stinks big time.
The moment I saw you cry
I'm defiantly going to beat up Trent about this. It's basically his and Gwen's fault, but I can't beat up Gwen so Trent will do and he is a weak guy I think... anyways, it's mostly his fault that Courtney tears up at the sight of them being together and acting all lovey-dovey whenever they are around each other. If only I could do something about it, but she would probably kick me where the sun don't shine.
Oh yeah, a trait that no girl has – she's feisty. And her feisty is majorly hot.
But still if anyone hurts the only person I get to call Princess, they're gonna run for their mummies 'cause I'm going to kick their asses and murder them until all that is left is just crushed bones and their insides out.
Duncan evilly cackled, rubbing his fingers in a Mr. Burns-esque style, smirking with all his might. Until he heard the beginning of the next song blast through his speakers that was when he was close enough to crack and smash open the music playing device in his hand.
Oh shit, hell no!
OMG when I found out Duncan won, I went hysterical. I kept tackling my brother to the ground, kept slapping my sister and yelling at my mum... bad idea to do that to a mother that is cooking meat. Oh well.
Oh oh oh oh INFINITY OH!!! I went over the moon when DxC are officially back together. This time I grabbed my glass of water and poured it all over my brother. I was just soooo happy they are back together again. But I'm guessing even if Beth won, they would get back together from what I have read about the alternative ending. But who cares - LONG LIVE DxC!!!
SMIGGLE!!!
R&R!!!
